The
Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena,
by Dean Radin, Ph.D. 1997, Harper San FranciscoA
must-read for anyone who wonders whether there's actual scientific research
data to support psi phenomena. Packed with information, this book details the
background of consciousness research, presents a wealth of study data in clear,
'understandable terms, and discusses numerous other areas of this field. Skeptics
should start with this book! Radin, one of the world's top psi research scientists,
presents a powerful, impeccably-researched case in a witty, entertaining style.

The
Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate
Theoryby Brian Greene, 1999, W.W. Norton & CompanyAn
extremely readable, understandable book which explains clearly, using analogies,
humor, and layman's terms, the principles of relativity and quantum mechanics.
Greenethen details a cutting-edge Unified Field theory, String theory,
which may link the discrepancies between Einstein's theory of relativity and
quantum physics, and which predicts the existence of multiple dimensions. By
reading this book, I was able to finally 'get' a number of complex principles
and theories which had previously eluded me. Even if you're not interested in
String Theory, this book is well worth reading for its excellent explanations
of Einsteins's theories of relativity, observations and theories in quantum
physics , and much more.

Vibrational
Medicineby Richard
Gerber, M.D., 1999, Bear & CompanyAn
extensive compilation of alternative and 'subtle energy' healing modalities,
preceded by an excellent discussion of scientific evidence for the existence
of the subtle energy body, and a compelling, understandable theory of the physics
framework within which subtle energies could exist. This book covers a lot of
ground...a must-read for anyone interested in subtle-energy healing.

Infinite
Grace: Where the Worlds of Science and Spiritual Healing Meetby
Diane Goldner, 1999, Hamptons RoadsDiane
Goldner began her 4-year study of subtle-energy healers as a skeptical reporter.
When she began seeing amazing results from healers, she started digging deeply
into the science of it. She presents a compelling and inspiring case for the
legitimacy of subtle-energy healing.

Journeys
out of the Body, Robert A. Monroe, 1971, DoubledayFascinating account of spontaneous experiences Monroe began
having, leading him to become one of the most influential consciousness researchers
of our time. Monroe invented Hemi-Sync binaural beat technology, and founded
The Monroe Institute for the study of consciousness.

Far
Journeys, by Robert Monroe, 1985, DoubledayAn
awe-inspiring continuation of Monroe's explorations of consciousness and other
realities accessed from altered states. Monroe's writing is warm, candid, humorous,
profound, and deeply moving. Also included are compelling findings from Monroe
Institute research.

Ultimate
Journey,by Robert Monroe, 1994, DoubledayMonroe's own mind-bending explorations continue,
growing ever more profound.FAR
JOURNEYS and ULTIMATE JOURNEY MAY POSSIBLY BE THE TWO BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER
READ! LIFE-CHANGING AND TRANSFORMATIVE. (I admit, Robert Monroe is probably #1 on my List of Influential People in My Life! )

Mind

McMoneagle was the top remote viewer in a number of top-secret (since then declassified)
military operations for 20 years. In Mind Trek, he discusses, in clear, down-to-earth
language, the near-death experience that preceded this ability, actual case
examples of remote viewing, his research with Bob Monroe at The Monroe Institute,
and much more.

Opening
to the Infinite: Human Multidimensional Potential
by Alice Bryant and Linda Seebach, M.S.W., A
thought-provoking study of people who exhibit 'multidimensionally aware' characteristics.
Extremely helpful reading for anyone having, or wishing to understand, 'nonordinary'
experiences.

The
